This can even be done via any retainer bell.

Because if they wanted to do the Market Wards right, hundreds of retainers wouldn't be crammed together into such a little space. It's just an ugly design. The better design would be, one large zone for all the retainers (like a mini Ul'dah), broken into different areas to represent the various wards where every retainer gets their own stall (or shares one with other retainers) and are laid out in such a way that doesn't choke the server by loading hundreds of retainers at once. This idea is not without its flaws but that's how it should have been done first.
Joke post?
